I still want to know how car insurance will work.
Now- the driver & their individual record & habits are charged accordingly. How will these cars be rated?
Who do I sue if there is an accident?
How does the car know I have to get off the highway & take a leak??? OR get food? Or Whatever. ??
IF you need to pass a slower vehicle, you sometimes exceed the speed limit, but you go back to the correct speed limit quickly.
If this car won’t let you speed, a slow vehicle will be the pace setter for a very long line of vehicles.
Bridge is out: Does this car read that?
I don’t like a single thing bout this idea.
I have driven over a million miles since I got my driver’s license at 16 & I can still function well enough to keep doing so.
What could possibly go wrong?
Lie, coverup, and if necessary hide behind a bankruptcy judge.
Nascar issued a statement that rumours they would transition to Bolt EVs for all race circuits are unfounded.

Self driving cars without steering wheels and pedals..what would go wrong? Computer software could be hacked...no thanks.
On the contrary.
The rich can afford chauffeurs. Autonomous automobiles will let the hoi polloi (i.e the rest of us) enjoy the same luxury.
I enjoy driving — most of the time. However, i would love to have an AI drive me through congested urban traffic, while I sat back and did just about anything else. If I acquire some driving restrictions, as I get older; then robocars would become essential. They will be far more: comfortable, convenient, and safe than mass transit, or other options available to the non-rich senior.
Actually, all of those conditions and obstacles, have been accounted for in the design and testing.
In the future, 20-30 years from today, none of those events will occur. For example, no traffic cops will be necessary, and no bank robberies.
For certain this vehicle will be attractive to retirement communities and such. This will offer older folks a little more freedom per se. Seniors also have a lot of money to afford these.
If the car is autonomous, there won’t be a need for the cops to pull the vehicle over, and there won’t be traffic cops either. Autonomous vehicles will be “managing” the roads on their own, and will also do their own recognition of other vehicles and obstacles, and will keep detailed records of trips.
Idiocracy on parade. This has zero to do with “self driving cars” and everything to do with absolute control of the population
It’s not a GM thing. All car makers are working on their own driverless vehicles.

These kinds of looney products need to be prohibited immediately!
They can only degrade an already bad situation with sleepy drivers. All we need is a whole fleet of automatic road boulders!
